Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention enables a person monitoring the display to make appropriate decisions by displaying necessary information accurately and quickly, and at the same time, it is possible to display necessary information accurately and quickly. This relates to a situation display/recording system that allows information to be recorded.

Conventionally, similar to this type of technology, two lamp sources with different binary light colors are used based on information from a so-called sensor such as a translucent paper radar or sonar placed on a projection glass plate. The position is driven by an independent servo for each lamp source, and the sensor information is unexpectedly recorded on a semi-transparent paper on the projection glass plate, and one person plots the ever-changing display points using a writing instrument such as a pencil. It is generally known that by doing so, we can know the trajectory of information and at the same time leave it as a record.

However, in this method, the point information of the sensor displayed on the semi-transparent paper on the projection glass plate is plotted by a human.

Not only is there a time delay, but it is also prone to plot errors (double errors), and is not suitable for dealing with fast-moving targets.
= Writing instruments and human hands, etc.

This covers the display screen, which is inconvenient for observation.

In addition, it is not easy to display complex maps, and it is not possible to partially enlarge or reduce the map (or to display overall and continuous changes).

Therefore, in order to deal with a large amount of information, it is impossible to grasp the situation sufficiently using the conventional methods described above.
